10 BT Experience Since 2008, Baker Tilly has been involved with over $1.96 billion of renewable energy projects that are either operating or under construction > Over 15 biogas projects (food processors and agricultural feedstock) and $220 million of funding Our role: > Accessing Federal Incentives (ITC, PTC, 1603 grants, NMTC s) > Development Support Feedstock agreements, PPA s, heat sale agreements, etc. EPC, O&M and Technology procurement agreements > Financial Advisory and Funding Procurement 10
11 Energy Legislative Updates Biogas projects typically fall under the open loop biomass or trash facilities definition. Applies only to projects that use the biogas to produce electricity. ARRA passed in February, 2009: > Investment Tax Credit ( ITC ) equal to 30% of eligible project costs > Production Tax Credit equal to $.0115/kwh produced for 10 years - Indexed to inflation - 2 X more for closed loop biomass facilities > Required to be placed in service by December 31, 2013 American Taxpayer Relief Act of 2012 > ITC/PTC deadline extended - Deleted 12/31/13 placed in service requirement (no credit termination date) - Added 12/31/13 begun construction deadline > These changes do not apply to the 1603 grant program 11
12 Begun Construction What is Begun Construction > IRS has provided two notices during (April) (September) > Two tests, only have to meet one - Physical work of a significant nature (PWSN) - Safe Harbor equal to 5% of ITC eligible costs > Major change from 1603 guidance is continuous efforts requirement under the safe harbor test - Adds level of subjectivity to safe harbor test - Notice clarified this requirement by providing if a facility is placed in service by December 31, 2015 the continuous efforts requirement is deemed to be met. 12
13 Begun Construction Physical Work of a Significant Nature Rules > Binding written contract (if work done by someone other than taxpayer) - Binding if it is enforceable in the state where the facility is to be located and the contract doesn t limit damages to less than 5% of the contract price - Master contract can be assigned to multiple facilities by the taxpayer - Physical work can be on-site or off-site - Manufacturer must have reasonable method for tracking equipment produced for a project - Doesn t include work to produce equipment that is in inventory > Does not include preliminary activities (planning, financing, permits, clearing the site, etc.) > Must be a continuous program of construction - Allowable disruptions include force majeure, licensing and permitting delays, financing delay of less than 6 months, and others - Notice clarified this requirement by providing if a facility is placed in service by December 31, 2015 the continuous construction requirement is deemed to be met. 13
14 Begun Construction Safe Harbor Rules > Taxpayer must pay or incur 5% of the eligible costs of the facility by December Incur applies to accrual basis taxpayers (most), and requires that the product or service be provided to the taxpayer within 3 ½ months of payment (or that the taxpayer reasonably expects to have it provided within 3 ½ months) - Costs incurred by a vendor, pursuant to a binding written contract with the taxpayer may be treated as incurred by the taxpayer for purposes of this requirement - Does include preliminary activities (planning, financing, permits, clearing the site, etc.) to the extent they are allocated to cost basis of qualifying property - No exclusion of equipment from inventory > Taxpayer must make continuous efforts toward construction - Definition of continuous efforts is broader than for PWSN, includes planning, financing, making additional payments. - Allowable disruptions include force majeure, licensing and permitting delays, financing delay of less than 6 months, and others (same as PWSN) - Notice clarified this requirement by providing if a facility is placed in service by December 31, 2015 the continuous efforts requirement is deemed to be met. 14
15 Further IRS Guidance Transfer Rules > Notice states that as long as a facility has met the Begun Construction test via either the PWSN or Safe Harbor test, the owner of the facility when it is placed in service may claim the PTC or ITC > Doesn t require the taxpayer to be the owner at the time the facility begun construction - This is a significant change from prior guidance under the 1603 program whereby the transfer of ownership needed to be to a related party 15
16 Owner Perspective Plan and take action prior to December 31, 2013 > If you are confident you can place the project in service by December 31, 2015 then most of the subjectivity is gone from both tests - Still some subjectivity regarding what constitutes starting physical work activities under PWSN > If project timeline extends beyond December 31, 2015, then strong preference for meeting Safe Harbor - Take title to qualifying equipment prior to December 31, 2013 if possible. - If not possible, make sure purchase documents clearly l show reasonable expectation of delivery within 3 ½ months of payment Clearly l document actions that t have met Begun Construction ti > There is no pre-application to show that you ve met the Begun Construction test. Important to have actions clearly documented to support claiming the ITC after the facility is placed in service. > Makes sense to document continuous efforts in case the placed in service date slips past the December 31, 2013 deadline 16
17 What can Vendors do to support meeting Begun Construction? Support owner s need for correct documentation > Make sure contracts are binding > Demonstrate manufacturing activities for equipment began after the execution of the contract with the owner but before December 31, 2013 and are not items typically held in inventory (PWSN) > Include language demonstrating reasonable expectation of having equipment or service provided within 3 ½ months of payment (for Safe Harbor) > Create a process during construction to document activities that are relevant to continuous efforts 17
18 Funding Party Perspective Meeting Begun Construction tests are binary : you either get the ITC or you don t depending on meeting this test, no in between. So take the time to make your actions as compliant with the rules as possible. Depend on objective rules as much as possible 18
